Bishop to Meet with Mother of Girl with Celiac Disease

ATLANTIC CITY: The head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Trenton has
agreed to meet with the mother of a 9-year-old girl whose first Holy
Communion was declared invalid because the wafer didn't contain
wheat, a spokesman said Tuesday.

Bishop John M. Smith has consented to a private audience with Liz
Pelly-Waldman, 31, of Brielle, who is challenging a policy requiring
communion hosts to have wheat in them.
